Chapter 21: The Mysterious Old Man
"Hahahaha, weird, weird, weird. β
The voice is very peaceful, but with an endless sense of vicissitudes, as if it is coming from far away, and it seems that someone is whispering in your ear. It's a pity that the little guy is standing in the dirt pit at this time, and he can't see his person.
"There's nothing strange about it, you don't look like a villager when you hear the voice, pass by, can you ask the big brother for help, rescue me from the dirt pit first, and then leave quickly, there has been a beast shortage here recently, it's very dangerous." β
There weren't a lot of people in the village, and the little ones remembered their voices, so they deduced that it wasn't the villagers who were talking on the pit.
"Big brother? hahahaha, strange, strange. This village is strange, the banyan tree at the head of the village is also strange, the deceased does not put books in the coffin, and it is strange, and even more strange is that you, a little doll, dig a pit and don't bury the coffin to bury yourself, why can't you think so much?"
The sound of peace and vicissitudes floated from above, and there was a sense of banter.
"Oh, big brother, I didn't think too much about digging a pit, I dug too deep and I couldn't get out, you can pull me up first, or can you bother you to leave here quickly, go to the village to find Li Erniu or the village elder, and tell me that I fell into the pit?"
Thinking of the beast shortage here, I don't know when a large group of beasts will come out, the little guy didn't think so much, and urged the people outside to leave.
"Well, the little doll has such a kind heart, the old man is very satisfied, you come out. β
The voice had just entered the ears of the early morning, and before he could think about it, the little guy only felt that his body was wrapped in a cloud of white gas, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared outside the earthen pit, standing on top of the coffin with two feet.
"Little doll, the old man asked you, who asked you to bury the book?"
At this time in the morning, he could see the appearance of the speaker, according to the voice, he looked up, and found that on a big tree not far away, there was a slender branch on the left side of the big tree, and there was an old man in a gray robe, with crane hair and a childish face, and a strand of long white hair was black, which was a little abrupt.
"What kind of big brother is this, obviously an old man with white hair and white beard, but who is he sitting?"
The little guy rubbed his eyes, and he was sure that the old man was sitting on the finger-thick branch, and the leaves around the branch were like futons. But the question is, why wasn't the branch bent or broken?
Ling Chen knew that the old man in front of him was not simple, he stood upright, with a serious face, and bowed his head at the old man.
"Well, the little doll is polite, but you haven't answered the old man's question yet. β
At this time in the early morning, the little head was slightly lowered, and his eyes were staring at the dark coffin board under his feet, his mother had taught him these etiquettes since he was a child, so he paid attention to it, and suddenly heard the voice in the early morning as if it was in his ears again, and he was startled when he looked up, the old man who was still sitting on the treetop just now was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile, the old man was burly, with big ears and round eyes, long eyebrows were black, and his beard was whiteγ
"Little doll, who told you to bury the book?"
The old man smiled, and his eyes flickered. He didn't show the slightest sign of impatience, and this was the third time he had asked the same question.
"Back to the old man, it is the younger generation who wants to bury it himself. Because I've memorized them all. β
The little one replied respectfully.
"Oh, the little doll that tells lies is not cute, look, look, it's too selfless, it's weird, there's a seal on the heart, and the seal is broken. Little dolls are not simple. β
The smile on the old man's face was even stronger, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
Hearing the words of the old man in the Taoist robe in the early morning, he couldn't help but be shocked, he remembered what his mother said before, not to let anyone know that the mental method he learned was "Taiyi No Self No Phase", otherwise it would lead to death, but now this old gentleman just glanced at himself a few times, and he knew what kind of mental method he was learning, and he also saw that there was a chain in his heart.
The old man saw that he didn't answer in the early morning, his hands were behind his back, and the old god was there.
"The old gentleman can see that the little cultivation method is different from the heart, and the younger generation naturally doesn't dare to lie. β
The little guy's palms were sweaty, and when he saw that the old man in front of him was so calm, he took the lead in speaking. The little guy guessed that the old man might be the old friend mentioned by his mother earlier, and the master who would come to teach him martial arts, but it was not certain yet, so it was better to be careful in the early morning.
"Hehe, there is still some qi in your body that warms the meridians, this qi is obviously injected into your body by others, the purpose is to help you better forge your muscles and bones, the qi is unique, containing colorful glow, there is only one person in the ancient star continent who can use such exercises. β
"Little doll, Wang Yuehan is your mother?"
The old man was still smiling, looking at the little doll in front of him without panic with a kind face, at a young age, he had such a calm characterization in case of trouble, the girl's child was good, the old man thought with relief.
When he heard the old man mention his mother's name in the early morning, it was not that he was not flustered, but he was almost sure that the old man in front of him was the old friend that his mother said and was about to become his master, so he was relatively calm.
"It's indeed the mother's relatives of the younger generation, and the old gentleman is the old acquaintance of the mother's parents? β
Regardless of whether the old man in front of him is his mother's enemy or an old friend, with his strength, if he is unwilling to let himself go, he will die, and his mother is involved, even if it is really an enemy, the little guy does not want to deny his mother. So he answered the old man's question very calmly.
"Hahahaha, that little girl hid so far away, old acquaintance? When that girl was as old as you, the old man hugged her. Do you think it's old knowledge? Hahaha, name, well, this question is for the old man to think about. β
The old man laughed very happily, but obviously his voice was not loud, and after he finished laughing, all the birds in the forest that inhabited the trees fled.
"Hiding so far away? Isn't the old gentleman the master my mother arranged for me?"
Ling Chen scratched the back of his head and said to himself, he felt that it was very quiet, but it was still heard by the old man.
"Master, cough, who said no, yes, yes, the old man is, it's me, it's me, it's me, cough, the old man counts, your mother, the old man once taught, but he didn't formally apprentice, after all, your mother's family is more special, don't talk about this, your mother hasn't worshipped the teacher, you can worship, you worship the old man as a teacher, your mother must be very fun to know in the future, hahaha." β
The more the old man talked, the happier he became, and he squeezed his eyes at the little one. But he wasn't happy at this time of the morning, he was in a cold sweat.
"Why is this old gentleman serious for a while and not serious for a while? Is he my mother's old friend, is it my mother's master who arranged for me to teach martial arts, I don't feel like it, but he knows my mother again. β
Ling Chen's expression was strange, and his cute and immature face was a little dignified. He struggled with his own heart and didn't say it.
"The old man is your master, you don't need to think about it! cough, as for the question of whether he is serious or not, the old man is very serious when he is serious, and he is very indecent when he is not serious. Hahaha. β
Ling Chen's face became even more eccentric, and he was a little scared. The old man knew what was going on in his heart.
